Sydney Cummings Houdyshell

Welcome to your new workout home! I’m your personal trainer and training partner Sydney Cummings Houdyshell and I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, Women’s Fitness Specialist, and Stretching and Mobility Coach!
My husband Dustin and I own Royal Change, our fitness company based in Charlotte, NC. I have been an athlete my whole life and I am a West Virginia University Big 12 alum and Track & Field high jump athlete. I still maintain several school and state records for high jump! I have a bachelor's in Child Development studies and after going back to school for a second degree to become a nurse anesthetist, I dropped out during my second year to chase my passion in fitness and personal training!
When my younger brother passed away in 2017 I knew I had to create something that would leave a legacy so I decided to post my workouts here on YouTube to train people from all over the world with no barriers to anyone! Let’s crush it together!

BOLD IS LIVE!!

shop.royalchange.fit/collections/apparel

Releasing Bold means so much more to me than sharing new pieces of apparel. It represents the season I’m in and the strength it has taken to show up here again. Two months postpartum, I’ve been reminded that vulnerability and courage walk hand in hand. Some days I feel unstoppable, and some days I feel like I’m starting all over again. But both of those versions of me are worth celebrating.

That’s why Bold is filled with colors that carry meaning for this journey. Force Black is the steady strength that grounds us when everything feels uncertain. Clarity White is the fresh start, the reminder that every new day holds possibility. Charge Blue is the energy and confidence we find when we choose to keep moving forward. Spark Green is growth, renewal, and the beauty of becoming something new. And Heat Red is passion, fire, and the love that fuels it all.

Bold is my reminder, and I hope yours too, that we don’t have to wait until everything feels perfect to step into the light. We can choose to rise right where we are, even if it feels messy, even if we’re still figuring it out. Bold is about honoring resilience, about embracing the fire within us all, and about showing up fully for ourselves, for the people we love, and for the lives we’re building.
@royalchange BOLD Launches today at 12:00pm ET!

While I definitely don’t want to rush past the joy of being pregnant or the deep love I have for my two beautiful baby boys, there’s something magical about being cleared by your doctor to ease back into your normal day-to-day routines again.
Even though I’ve been given the green light to return to life as usual, I’ll be easing back in safely, guided by my own experience and the professionals I trusted during my last postpartum journey.
Pregnancy as a personal trainer is a uniquely challenging blessing. For nearly a year, your job is to move your body daily, stay strong, and prioritize your health, not just for yourself, but for the little life growing inside you. It’s a season of discipline and redirection, where your personal goals often take a back seat to a much bigger purpose.
It reminds me a lot of injury recovery. Even when you feel like you can push harder, you have to respect the bigger picture, healing, or in my case, growing life!
Professionally, it’s been a balancing act. I feel grateful to navigate alongside a community like ours. My body has gone through so many changes this year, and as a woman in the fitness space, I know how much of my business revolves around my physical ability. But there’s also so much power in watching a woman grow life and still show up. So many of you have said, “If she can do this 9 months pregnant, then I know I can too!” And I hope you know how much that meant to me!
I can’t tell you how pumped I’ve been to really work on my strength again. As I was thinking about how excited I am, I thought “how often do we waste the gift of ability?” When we’re healthy, we say, “I’ll do it tomorrow.” But when we’re limited, we wish we had done it yesterday.
So here’s to no more tomorrows! I’m back in the lab and I’m so excited to move, sweat, and grow stronger with you again as I work to get fully mobile, stronger than ever, and ready for all-out mayhem!

It’s finally here, the Vivid Collection! 🤍
shop.royalchange.fit/collections/all-products?srsl…

I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for all of you: for your patience, your support, your messages, your energy! This launch means so much to me, especially in this season of life as I’ve just welcomed my second son, Gian, into the world. 💙
So many of you have been sharing throwback workout videos where I said, “One day, it’d be so amazing to have my own workout apparel that we can all rock together in the workouts” and Here. We. Are!
This drop came a little later than expected due to things outside of our control, and I’ll be honest, it was tough not being able to be part of the photo or video shoots for this launch, but, even though I wasn’t there physically, I’m with you in spirit and heart as we step into this next chapter together.
I love every single piece of this collection and what’s to come in the future. For the first time ever, we’re finally on track to keep things flowing. We’ve got so many exciting collections in the works, and this is just the beginning.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I love you all deeply and can’t wait to rock Vivid with you, together, from wherever we are!
The Vivid Collection is available now! Go claim your color, your power, your moment. Link in bio.
Which piece are you grabbing first? 👇
